Chapter 398: The Past Clow Reed

The next day, campus.

In the corridor.

"Use the return card!?"

"Well, if we go back to the past world and ask Mr. Kuro directly, we might be able to find out what's going on recently."

Sakura was telling Li Syaoran her thoughts alone. When Li Syaoran heard that Sakura planned to use the return card to go back to the past, he couldn't help but frowned.

"But using the card return will consume a lot of mana. What if something happens in the middle of the process..."

"It's okay. Xiao Ke said that as long as we use the power of the sacred tree of Yuefeng Shrine, there will be a way. Xiao Ke also said that my magic power has become very strong."

Seeing that Xiaoying had made up her mind, Li Xiaolang asked again: "Are you going today?"

"That's right, Dad and brother are not at home today."

"Then I'll go too!"

Li Xiaolang clenched his fists, but after he finished speaking, he couldn't help but said disappointedly: "But if it really has something to do with Kuro, I may not be able to help you."

"That's not the case. You've been helping me all along."

"But I don't have anything..."

"You helped me a lot, and..."

Looking at Li Xiaolang's unconfident look, Xiaoying smiled and said, "As long as I think of you by my side, I feel more at ease."

After hearing these words, Li Xiaolang's heart moved, and somehow his mind recalled the encouragement that Zhishi and Xia Yu had given him.

"that……"

"what happened?"

"……fine."

Li Xiaolang gritted his teeth, glanced over and said, "Let's talk about it after today's matter is over."

"Okay, when I come back from the past, you must tell me!"

"it is good……"

In the afternoon, school is over.

At Sakura's house.

"Huh? It's a reply from Teacher Guanyue!"

When Sakura returned home, she saw the envelope in the mailbox at the door before she even had time to enter the house.

After receiving the reply letter, Sakura hurried to the living room, opened the envelope, and read the contents of the reply.

"Dear Sakura Kinomoto: I have received your reply. Thank you! I have been looking forward to hearing from you. It seems that troubles keep happening. However, I think it will be over soon, on the day you read this letter."

"today!?"

When Sakura saw the reply from Teacher Guanyue, she exclaimed in surprise and quickly looked at the next piece of letter.

"Today will be the most difficult day in your life, but you will be fine. Don't forget the invincible spell. I pray from far away England that you can have the most perfect ending with the most beautiful smile."

"The thing that can help you is always in your heart - Kanyue Utaha."

"What does it mean?"

Sakura looked at the reply letter from Guanyue Utahan and was a little confused for a moment. She always felt that there was something else behind Guanyue's words.

"He's back."

"Ah, good afternoon."

Suddenly, Fujitaka, holding a basket of clothes, came over and greeted her, and Sakura quickly responded with a smile.

However, Fujitaka did not leave after saying hello. Seeing that her father was staring at her, Sakura covered her face with her hands in confusion.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Hearing this, Fujitaka put down the clothes in his hand, looked at Xiaoying and smiled: "Is there anything else that you are worried about?"

"Huh!? How did Dad know that?"

Sakura was quite surprised, then she realized belatedly and said, "Because you are my father, can you tell this?"

"Yes."

"Dad is really awesome!"

Sakura couldn't help but hug Fujitaka. Looking at her daughter who was acting like a spoiled child with him, Fujitaka smiled again and said, "If there's anything I can help with, please let me know."

"Yeah...but it's okay."

Sakura smiled, enjoying the warmth of being with her father, but suddenly, a familiar feeling came over her.

This warm feeling...

I always feel that the feeling she has with her father is very similar to the feeling she has with Elio.

At the same time, at Elio's home.

Elio sat on the familiar red high-back chair as usual, looking as if he had made up his mind.

Seeing this, Sibi, who was floating in the air, said, "You have made up your mind."

"Can you see it?" Elio asked with a smile.

"I have been following you for a long time. Ever since we were created, you have been acting like a child. How long do you plan to stay like this?"

"It's almost over."

Elio smiled and continued, "Sakura's magic power has become very strong. From now on..."

"I'm back!!"

Before Elio could finish his words, a loud shout was heard and Nakuru, carrying a schoolbag, came in skipping and waving a greeting.

"Elliot, there's a letter for you."

"Thank you."

Elio took the letter and opened it casually and started reading. Nakuru, who came in, chattered excitedly to Spi beside him.

"Today, Touya, Tsukishiro and I had lunch together. Although Touya was reluctant, Tsukishiro was still the same, smiling all the time." "It seems that the two of them have to go to work together today. Do you want to go and play with them?"

Seeing that Nakuru was still concerned about Touya, Sibi couldn't help but ask, "You still care about him, he has lost his magic power, right?"

"yes--"

Nakuru stretched out his voice in displeasure, and said unhappily: "Because Elio allowed him to give his magic power to that Yue Cheng, that Yue guy."

After that, Nakuru couldn't help but approach Elio and asked, "Honestly, Elio, why did you come to Tomoeda Town? What exactly do you want?"

"It must be something related to Sakura, but I always feel that you are not serious enough, or too permissive?"

Facing these questions, Elio smiled slightly, put away the letter sent to him by Guan Yue Gefan, and replied only one sentence.

"You will understand all this tonight."

……

Twilight, Gekamine Shrine.

"Wow——This time the clothes also fit me very well."

Looking at Sakura who had changed into new clothes, Tomoyo held the camera and filmed her up and down, while Sakura showed off as shyly as ever.

After the filming was over, Sakura unsealed her Star Staff and looked at the sacred tree of Tsukimine Shrine with a determined gaze.

"Are you ready?" Xiao Ke floated out and asked.

"Ok!"

Sakura nodded, took out the return card, and then used her magic wand to point it.

"Back!"

As the return card appeared, purple spiral smoke immediately swirled around the sacred tree, and the sacred tree, which originally had only bare branches, was instantly covered with cherry blossoms.

Looking at the return card that had been used, Sakura turned to say goodbye to her friends who followed her, "I'm leaving."

"it is good!"

"come on!"

"Please be careful."

After everyone finished speaking, only Li Syaoran remained silent. Seeing Li Syaoran's worried look, Sakura walked forward with a smile and stretched out her little finger.

"what?"

"I will definitely come back. Let's make a pinky promise."

Looking at Sakura's smiling face, Li Syaoran finally smiled and stretched out his little finger to make a pinky promise with Sakura.

"it is good……"

"Pull the hook, hang yourself, don't change for a hundred years!"

When the appointment was over, Sakura waved, "See you later, then."

After saying that, she came to the sacred tree, reached out her hand and touched the trunk of the sacred tree. Under the twisting power of the sacred tree, Sakura's figure gradually disappeared.

At the same time, at a certain point in the past, her figure slowly appeared again.

After opening her eyes again, Sakura blinked at the colorful garden in front of her and subconsciously wondered, "Where is this?"

Seeing that there was no one around, she began to explore. After passing through an archway, she saw Xiao Ke in his original appearance under a withered tree.

"It's Xiaoke."

Just at this moment, a white figure flew over the sky, landed next to Xiaoke, and asked.

"What's wrong? Keruberos."

"It's Yue."

Xiao Ke turned around and said, then looked at the withered tree in front of him and said, "Spring has clearly arrived, but this cherry tree is the only one that has not bloomed yet."

"It will open soon."

"When will it be soon?"

"It's just very fast."

"What kind of answer is that?"

Xiao Ke complained, then looked at the cherry tree in front of him and said, "Will this tree really bloom?"

Not far away, Sakura, hiding behind an arch, was watching the scene. Because she was far away, she didn't hear what they were saying.

"Strange, what are Xiao Ke and Yue doing?"

"They are waiting for you."

Just as Sakura finished speaking, a response suddenly came from behind her. Turning her head, she saw that the person coming was Clow Reed in a black robe.

Looking at the smiling Clow Reed, Sakura was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and said, "Mr. Clow, I..."

But in the face of Sakura's eagerness, Clow Reed simply raised his index finger to his mouth, indicating that it was not the time to speak.

Then he casually took out a Clow Card from his black robe, threw it into the air, and said, "Please."

The Clow Card that appeared glowed slightly, and then turned back into its original image, which was a pink flower card.

With a wave of the hand, the flower cards that appeared suddenly blossomed the originally bare cherry trees, and countless petals fluttered in the wind, making the place look magnificent.

Clow Reed also stepped forward at this time and said with a smile: "Is this okay?"

Xiao Ke looked at Kurolido who was approaching and subconsciously complained, "Really, you are too nosy."

But having said that, Xiao Ke couldn't help but smile, and Yue beside him also smiled slightly.

Looking at this heartwarming scene, Sakura, who was hiding, couldn't help but smile and said, "Kero and Yue seem very happy."

But as she watched, Sakura couldn't help but put away the smile on her face, and subconsciously murmured: "They both seem very happy."

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Sakura opened her eyes and woke up.

Somehow, she suddenly fell asleep, just like a dream, the scene changed in the blink of an eye, and she didn't even feel anything out of place.

Sakura, who woke up under the cherry tree, looked around in a daze. She did not go back at this moment, and was still in the past. Now Yue and Xiao Ke were both asleep, and only Clow Reed was reading quietly beside her.
